Oberlin Blogs

I love to make lists. My room is covered in them. Now my blog is too--a giant list of things to do before I graduate!

Like all the rest of the seniors, I have turned in my application to graduate. But, unlike most, I didn't check the box that says "May 2013." I'll be graduating in January.

It's a necessary step! I handled mine really badly! This is why!

...and we're swamped. happy first week of class!

Don't try to be good at everything. Try something totally un-you.

Coming back to Oberlin and commencing senior year--it happened surprisingly fast.

Over the course of this post, a distraction from the tempest that is add-drop turned into a potential life lesson about quitting the things that make me unhappy.

At Oberlin we make stuff, things that last. This place is a factory of ideas, knowledge, art, and music. As it turns out, our annual output is actually quite impressive—and we are committed to sharing it freely with the world.

The final culmination of my Bay Area adventures, as well as the beginning of my final Oberlin adventures.

Thoughts on my human rights internship at People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty (PASSOP) in Cape Town, South Africa.

I have made an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I spend my money on. 81% goes to Oberlin and other necessities (airfare, textbooks, snowboots) and 11% to personal indulgences (goofy t-shirts, eating out). Is this a decent balance? I welcome your thoughts!

Orientation! It is so so soon. Also: look out for me! I'm going to be out and doing exciting things and you're definitely involved.
